Grand opening event celebrates Belden’s return to
Chicago
Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global supplier of network
infrastructure and digitization solutions, has opened the company’s
fourth Customer Innovation Center (CIC) in Chicago, Illinois. The
event brought together customers, partners and Belden leaders and
showcased Belden’s capabilities to provide customized Industry 4.0
solutions to build a reliable network foundation for the digital
world.
To commemorate the opening, an exclusive event celebrating the
newly commissioned Customer Innovation Center was held on May 4th
and marked a return of the company to its roots. The location in
America’s heartland holds special historical significance for the
company as it was founded by Joseph C. Belden in Chicago in 1902.
The original Belden home office was located on the top floor of a
five-story building at 116-118 Michigan Street in Chicago’s Loop
district.
Customer Innovation Centers, also known as CICs, are one of
Belden’s newest methods of delivering value to customers by
providing a space where solutions can be crafted and validated
onsite. The new Chicago center provides an ecosystem for Belden
customers to co-innovate with sales and product engineers to
develop, test, document, and validate proven solutions that drive
efficiency, security and innovation.
“We are thrilled to open the doors of our flagship Customer
Innovation Center and return to the great city of Chicago,” said
Andries Boone, Managing Director, Solutions Delivery at Belden.
“This milestone is so much more than a facility opening, it
represents the future of Belden and our commitment to
collaborating, driving innovation and building solutions with our
customers. We are looking forward to welcoming guests for many
years to come.”
Belden uses a vendor-agnostic approach to provide best-in-class
consulting to transform ideas into solutions and technical support,
empowering companies to feel secure and maintain focus on their
business objectives. The Belden CIC model was developed to address
key business goals and outcomes that encompass various areas of
customers’ operations. These include safety, automation, quality,
and productivity, all tested to simulate challenges and stressors a
network may face.
A team of Belden technologists and application experts work
together to accelerate the design and implementation of
future-ready networks, beginning with Solutions Architects who
develop modular solutions that can be customized for each customer.
Digital Automation Consultants then study customers’ existing
networks to recommend opportunities for enhanced digitization and
data flow management. These recommendations are customized in
collaboration with the customer and Solutions Consultants, who then
validate the solution with the architects in our validation lab.
Finally, Service Engineers provide on-site implementation and
post-sales support. All of these steps in the CIC model are
designed to provide a complete solution that reduces risk for the
customer while enabling their digital transformation journey.
The first of five Belden Customer Innovation Centers opened in
2021 in Stuttgart, Germany. A second location opened in Santa
Clara, California in 2022 and a third location was unveiled in
Shanghai, China in March of 2023. Later this year, following the
opening of the Chicago location, Belden plans to launch a Customer
Innovation Center in Bangalore, India.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Chicago Customer
Innovation Center. To learn more about what is possible at a Belden
